GameSpot Reviews The Sims 2 Pets Monday, 23 October, 2006 at 13:18 PST | | Print NewsAndrew Park of GameSpot has reviewed The Sims 2 Pets, awarding the latest expansion pack a respectable rating of 7.1 out of 10.

Even though it does add a decent-sized chunk of new content to the original game, The Sims 2: Pets isn't about redefining the Sims 2 experience or winning over any new converts. It seems to be for players who already know and love The Sims 2, who will actually spend time layering spots and colored patches onto a dog's fur, or who find the idea of having a starlet house cat bringing home the bacon (while the deadbeat family sits at home and plays pinball all day) to be hilarious.
